You think we wouldn't cut him? We already have...2 x I believe. He was also cut by another team too. Why is it so hard to believe? I do think the injury to hyno helps him short term, but it certainly doesn't guarantee his position.

If the Giants think Hyno will be out till week 6, it is entirely possible they IR Hyno and use Pascoe as the roster spot, allowing us to keep Chase as the 3rd TE. Coach Pope does seem to like that kid. However, who then gets cut when Hyno comes back? It very well could be Pascoe. As my post above indicates, he has been very close to free agency in the past and some pretty strange circumstances have allowed us to keep him on the roster. But if you go by last year, he did not earn his spot at all.

Well I'm pretty sure Hyno will come back early but I don't see Pascoe going anywhere this season. Besides Myers who else would we have as a TE? A guy in Adrien who hasn't made a single catch in the NFL? What if Myers goes down or we want to run a 2 TE set. Atleast Pascoe is a guy who's been in the system and played in games, he's serviceable at a position where there's one proven player.

bear ran no where near the same style of force Jacobs ran. I mean from a physical standpoint they r similar. But from how they play, completely different. Bear isn't as strong. and isn't going to blow up the defender.

I've always wondered how Jacobs would do as a FB. Were he willing to become one and put in the work there, he could extend his career easily.

Size has nothing to do with physicality. Bear is a bit soft given his size. I'm not trying to knock the guy, actually think he's OK but the reality is, he doesn't crush anyone.

Well, we disagree there I guess. I do not see him as a serviceable TE. I have seen no evidence supporting that claim. In fact, 1 could argue his best year ever for us was the year he filled in for an injured Hedge**** at FB. In 2011, he actually played a good number of minutes at TE and was terrible at end line blocking, didn't get open, and led the league in holding calls per snap.

We must have different definitions of "serviceable"

For me, serviceable is a low bar meant for non starters, good locker room influence, reserved for guys who stay healthy, keep their noses clean and who can help out in a number of areas. For me, Bear meets that threshold however if we find someone better, he is expendable. We might be splitting hairs here but serviceable and expendable are about an eighth inch apart for me.

Depends on when he comes back . . . you would obviously be correct if he comes back after the season started. In that case, Pascoe would have technically "made the team" but would be summarily cut upon Hynsoki's return.

I disagree. They signed him for a year when Hynoski was healthy. I don't think we're overloaded at TE
